Nakajima Yuto x Inoo Kei - TV Life 19 September 2020 (English Translation)

[hoshizora20.livejournal.com]

Inoo: Yuto is cute! Look, he's such a child. He's cute!

Nakajima: I was really a child for sure. But I get embarrassed when I get called cute that many times (laughs). Inoo-chan is definitely better now.

Inoo: Hey! Don't deny the old me! (laughs)

Nakajima: I'm not! He previously had a neutral cuteness, but now I feel he has added a mysterious sexiness and he's become cooler. I like him better now.

Inoo: Sure, I've been called feminine in the past, but I've never been aware of it once. So I honestly don't see the change in myself.

Nakajima: My sense is that #160 is a good example of that change. I like this one.

Inoo: It seems surprisingly recent, but that was maybe six years ago. But maybe it's because I'm over 20 years old, I don't see the change much from then.

Nakajima: That's right. Also, the hairstyle in #8! This is what everyone was doing! It's the same as my first issue. With heaping hair on the top and...

Inoo: The tips that go outward! (laughs)

Nakajima: Also, Inoo-chan posing with a water gun is cool! (laughs).

Inoo: You're denying the old me again! At the time, I thought this pose was cool with a water gun, so it's okay.

Both: (Roar of laughter)

Inoo: In Yuto's photos, it's amazing how much he's changed from #159.

Nakajima: Wow, how nostalgic! That's the colour I had after I did my hair blonde in "Waterpolo Yankees!"

Inoo: Right. The blonde itself was at a time when there weren't many members doing preparation for roles and it was shocking because Yuto, who is the most serious and least likely to do it, did it.

Nakajima: That's for sure (laughs). But if we're talking about unlikely to do it, Inoo-chan's very blonde hair was also shocking. We're probably the two members who you'd think would say "no".

Inoo: Yuto was asked by the people around him, "Why are you a blonde?" and I secretly thought it was cool to be surprised and say "Oh, it was for a drama...". After he did it, I was able to do the same thing and had a bit of fun (laughs).

Nakajima: I know the feeling (laughs).

Inoo: I kept flipping through the issues to find out when he became the mature, cool Yuto because Yuto was such a child in the first one, but by the end, I just finished with "Yuto is cute"...

Nakajima: No, no (laughs). That's surely the standpoint you have from a parent's or relative's level.

Inoo: Maybe that's true.

Nakajima: You're not a parent (laughs).

Inoo: If you look them as single shots, you can see that he's cool. Especially from when he's over 20 years old. But if you look at them in order, it's no good. It's like looking at a photo/growth album. Oh, but #221 is great. His arm muscles and things aren't like a boys anymore. Even if he's smiling from this point forward, he doesn't feel like a boy anymore, he feels like a man.

Nakajima: This was fairly recent though (laughs).



Commitment to #400 of the series

Nakajima: In the end, isn’t the true charm of the series seeing a return of the hairstyles?

Inoo: Eh, what generation of hairstyle are you suggesting?

Nakajima: Maybe #8...

Inoo: How old do you think I'll be in four years?! I'll be 35 and my hair is... Instead, I'll have a face that's just as cute as #8.

Nakajima: That's too easy!

Inoo: And a water gun!

Nakajima: Hey~ I don't wanna recreate it, but I wanna be with my #1 self. We could stand side by side, shoulder to shoulder, or face each other in the mirror.

Inoo: That's so stylish!
